I am planning to build a portfolio dashboard for my properties in Excel, and I have a pretty good idea of what I want to see about them individually and combined. 

Most times you can be pretty safe estimating an hour for this, but if your property is in a rural area or a heavily congested urban area with slow-moving traffic, you may need to be realistic about it taking longer.BTW: you should be realistic about a Service Call fee even for little jobs.

I am pretty sure you can not do a 1031 and use the proceeds to do anything to a primary residence.

They’re pretty solid markets with good rental demand.As for RentRedi its a great choice for tenant screening.

I could come up with a down payment for an investment property in a different state easier than my home state at prices are pretty high in the 300-400 k just for townhomes.

This is a pretty simple deal for a bank/credit union in the area to do a DSCR loan.

You're in a pretty hot market. 

Since joining this club I have a new attitude at work and have received a promotion every year since I have been involved and closed some deals on the side.

I've had pretty good success the last couple years with a combination of house hacking and building Accessory Dwelling Units.

As I'm sure everyone knows, the housing market is pretty locked up right now.
